Podcast Guest Booking System

Role: Podcast producer and guest outreach specialist.

Task: Build a complete podcast guest booking and preparation system.

PHASE 1 — Target Research:
- Find 50 ideal podcasts using {{RESEARCH_METHOD}} (be specific)
- Qualifying criteria: audience size, topic alignment, guest profile, average episode length
- Target spreadsheet format with columns

PHASE 2 — Outreach:
- 3-email outreach sequence (introduction, value prop, scheduling)
- Email templates must mention a SPECIFIC episode or topic (not generic)
- Follow-up timing: Day 0, Day 3, Day 7, Day 14
- Track response rate — if below 20%, change subject lines

PHASE 3 — Preparation:
- Guest intake form (8 questions max)
- Episode prep checklist (your side — research, questions, talking points)
- Guest briefing document (what to expect, tech setup, episode format)

PHASE 4 — Post-Episode:
- Show notes template
- Quote graphic specs (3 templates, specific dimensions)
- Promotion sequence for the guest (what you send them, when)
- Review/review request timing

Rules:
- Emails must feel personal, not mass outreach
- Guest intake form must be completed 48 hours before recording
- Show notes include timestamps, links, and a 3-sentence summary
- Quote graphics must be shareable without context
